+- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
+
+- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
+  changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
+  manual for more details.
+
+- wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
+  Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
+  single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
+
+- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
+  instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base
+  class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
+  documentation of wxLog for more information.
+
+- Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
+  easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
+  will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this
+  overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
+  new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
+  applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
+
+- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
+  and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
+  most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
+  space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
+
+- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
+
+- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
+  to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
+  indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
+  accordingly, to 2.

+- wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
+  references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
+  now results in compile-time error.
+
+- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
+  an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
+  longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
+  without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
+  add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
+
+- wxList::Member() now returns book and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
+  require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
+  presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
+  use Find() instead.
